Quick answer
If your child loves Sesame Street characters, choose the Sesame Street Toniebox 2 Set; if you want a budget-friendly starter with classic songs, the Playtime Puppy Starter Set is a great pick.
What's included: songs vs. characters
The Playtime Puppy Toniebox 2 Starter Set includes the Toniebox 2 and the Favorite Children’s Songs: Playtime Songs figurine, so it's ready for singing along right out of the box.
The Sesame Street Toniebox 2 Set bundles the same Toniebox 2 with four Sesame Street figurines: Elmo, Elmo & Tango, Cookie Monster, and Abby Cadabby. That's a bigger library of stories and voices from the start.
Your choice really comes down to whether you want a single music-focused Tonie or a character-driven collection.
Age and independence
Both sets are designed for kids ages 1–12+, so they grow with your child. The Toniebox 2 itself is built to boost independence and confidence as kids choose what to play.
The Sesame Street set is especially appealing for ages 3–4, because familiar characters can help younger children engage with the audio player.
If your child isn't attached to a specific show yet, the Playtime Puppy set's sing-along songs are a simpler, more universal starting point.
Price and value
The Playtime Puppy Starter Set is priced at USD 107.99 (compared to USD 149.99), making it a more affordable entry point.
The Sesame Street Toniebox 2 Set costs USD 155.36 (compared to USD 209.95), but you get four figurines, which can be a better value if you'd otherwise buy them separately.
Consider how many Tonies you plan to buy later. If you already have a collection, the cheaper starter might free up budget for additional figurines.
How to choose
- If your child is a Sesame Street fan: Pick the Sesame Street Toniebox 2 Set. The four familiar characters provide more variety and can help younger kids (ages 3–4) connect with the device. Check if your child already has a favorite character from the included set.
- If you want a budget-friendly starter: Choose the Playtime Puppy Starter Set. It's cheaper and still gives you the full Toniebox 2 experience with a classic songs Tonie. If you plan to buy extra Tonies later, the savings can go toward those.
- If you value more content from day one: The Sesame Street set includes four figurines, giving you a larger library immediately. Weigh the higher price against buying a single Tonie later. Estimate how many Tonies you'd likely buy in the next few months.
